Several folks have pointed out that "the number of cards in this background"
may not be supported yet.  I have not confirmed this, and it may very well
be true.  However, there is a more basic problem in the original example
not yet mentioned:

The "repeat with..." is to be used with a varible counter the same way
a for loop is traditionally used.  It might help to change the repeat loop
to:

  repeat for <value>

  end repeat

to see if this produces the desired results.
